Police in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, uncovered a cache of cash amounting to three crore rupees during a raid on the house of an auto‑rickshaw driver, sources said. The seizure was reported as part of a broader cash‑flow investigation that has drawn media attention.
An engineer whose name surfaced in preliminary inquiries has publicly denied any connection to the money found at the driver’s residence. He stated that he had no knowledge of the cash and is not a participant in any illicit activity.
Despite the discovery, the investigating agency has not yet submitted a formal report, and officials say they are still awaiting the findings of a dedicated probe. The delay, now exceeding 48 hours, has been noted by local observers who await clarification on the origins of the seized funds.
The case adds to a series of recent cash‑related scandals across the state, prompting calls for swift and transparent action from law‑enforcement bodies.
Further updates are expected once the investigative team completes its assessment and files the necessary charges, if any.
